To ask if you are going Out, out tomorrow evening?

[TheQueef]

The media coverage almost seems to encourage people to relax the lockdown and have a blow out!
So I'm wondering....
YABU = off out, need to let off steam.
YANBU = staying safe at home, there's a pandemic.

Anyone else being given the impression we are being encouraged here?

whether getting on with it leads to the inevitable second wave

A second wave isn’t inevitable. We won’t be going out regardless.

Not a chance.

Not worried about the virus but no, absolutely no chance.
It sounds like a complete pain in the arse, rather than a leisure activity.

I'll be going round to a friend's for dinner. The pub sounds like hell, I'm not worried so much about the virus as the zombie apocalypse it's bound to be. There's an open air bar near me, that spills on the next street. Very animalistic shrieks and bellows at all hours, on all days of the week. I will be keeping a low profile on Saturday.

Sober people seem incapable of washing their hands and social distancing. I doubt drunk people are going to be any better.

I haven’t missed pubs being open.

People in this country are so obsessed with a second wave. Strange

Bars and Restaurants have re-opened in France, Spain and Italy. Some time ago aswell. Alas, no second wave. So far.

No - I wouldn’t normally go out on a Saturday night anyway

No, there will be too many Covidiots about, even in our naice rural area, and especially now the holiday lets and hotels are opening.

Anyway, home schooling = home drinking.

I’m going to a friends house for a bbq with a few others. Haven’t seen them since lockdown began so I’m very much looking forward to it.

No. I have kids to look after and even if I could go I wouldn't.

No I won’t be going out. I also wonder if people realise that the guidelines dictate that you are not to go to the pub/restaurant/cafe with more than two households. So meeting up at a table with 3 of your best friends isn’t allowed.

Bars and Restaurants have re-opened in France, Spain and Italy. Some time ago aswell. Alas, no second wave. So far.

drinking culture in the uk vs those countries is very different though.
there isn't the mad rush to get as pissed as possible as quickly as possible.

so it's likely social distancing behaviours are more consistently adhered to.

No, there will be too many Covidiots about

Check out the videos posted all over social media of those countries @DiscontinuedModelHusband - especially Paris. People are practically sat on top of each other in restaurants

I'm not going out this weekend but to say there will def be a second wave here is complete paranoia. Especially as I dont know a single person who has booked a table anywhere. I doubt even 5% of the UK will be in bars/restaurants this weekend

No f.ing way. I miss eating out but even a trip to the shops is stressful with everybody creeping up on me. I wish I could walk in one of those big blow up balls people roll off hills in.

I'm staying in in.

It's a no here too.

Mainly due to fact I'm old, have young kids and go out probably once every few months at the most.

I'll stick to a few glasses of red and a take away.

I have just received a group invite for a drink in 2 weeks time, not feeling it at all (not least as the pub doesn't have any outdoor space??)

Like someone said on here .... the last thing I'm worried about is covid infection.

Pre booking , giving all your details out , ordering on apps and sitting behind perspex is not my idea of fun !

Yes and I can't bloody wait!!!!

I'm going to a local bar where we have a table booked and have a few drinks and food. The bars and restaurants near us have vastly reduced the capacity and its table service/bookings only so I dont expect it to be manically heaving anywhere.

No, I'm not that desperate. And it's going to rain.

I'm staying home.

Mind I'm not one for pubs in general though.

We live in a small town that has 15 or more pubs (down from 24!), a hotel and two social clubs.

I reckon it will be awash with pissheads tomorrow and that they'll start early. No way am I going out.

We've got a table booked for Sunday lunch at a really nice village pub though.

Downing Street have announced they are helpfully allowing 6am opening.........
Why do they want us to go on a bender?

Nope. Hamilton & gin for us.
